Bot traffic review
Your logs sorted by endpoint, bot type, and source, so every rule answers a problem you actually have.
The Problem
Bots Are Working Your Login, Signup, and Checkout Pages
It shows up as a spike in failed logins, a wave of fake accounts, small declined card attempts, or a scraper copying every price overnight.
Stuffed logins
Passwords leaked from other sites get tried against your login page.
Stuffed logins
Login limits per account and IP, plus challenges for sessions that look automated.
Fake signups
Bots create accounts to grab your trials, coupons, or referral credit.
Fake signups
Signup checks for disposable emails, repeat devices, and creation speed before the account goes live.
Card testing
Small declined charges show bots testing stolen cards at checkout.
Card testing
Payment attempt limits and challenges before the card form, matched to your gateway rules.
Price scraping
A scraper copies your product and price pages every hour.
Price scraping
Rate limits and bot rules on catalog and search pages, with search engines verified and allowed.
Your failed-login count jumped overnight, from a handful to a wall of attempts using passwords leaked from other sites. Your signup form fills with accounts that don't confirm their email. Your payment processor flagged a run of small declined charges. A scraper copies your prices every hour, and your hosting bill rose with it. Blocking a country or adding a CAPTCHA everywhere just annoyed the customers you wanted to keep.
We start with your logs, not a vendor demo: which endpoints get hit, by what, and how often. Then each high-risk endpoint gets its own defense: rate limits per account and IP, challenges for suspicious sessions only, signup checks, and payment attempt limits. Verified search crawlers stay allowed. Your real customers keep a normal checkout, and the bots meet the friction instead.
Measured before anything blocks
Your logs show which endpoints bots hit and how, so every rule targets real abuse.
Friction only where it's needed
Challenges appear for suspicious sessions on your risky endpoints, not for every visitor on every page.
Search engines still welcome
Googlebot and Bingbot are verified by DNS and allowed, so your rankings don't pay for the defense.
Our Bot Protection Services Process
From Log Review to Tuned Bot Rules in Five Clear Steps
You see which bots hit which endpoints before any rule goes in, approve each defense, and get a week of log-only results before anything blocks.
You share a week of access or edge logs, and we show which endpoints get automated traffic and what kind. You get a short note and a fixed price. If your platform's built-in bot setting already covers your traffic, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With Bot Protection for Website Logins and Checkouts
You get a bot traffic review, defenses for logins, signups, checkouts, and search, crawler verification, log-only testing, tuned rules, and a runbook for the next bot campaign.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs a CAPTCHA Plugin vs a Bot Platform
A CAPTCHA plugin is free and quick, and a dedicated bot platform sees data no single site can match. Here is how these anti bot protection options compare on a site like yours.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | CAPTCHA plugin | Bot platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Your logs, per endpoint | Install and hope | The vendor's default model |
| Customer friction | Only on suspicious sessions | Puzzles for everyone | Low, once tuned |
| Logins and signups | Limits, checks, and challenges | Form-level only | Covered by most |
| Checkout and carding | Payment limits and challenges | Rarely covered | Usually covered |
| Search crawlers | Verified by DNS and allowed | Not handled | Usually handled |
| APIs and mobile apps | On the larger plan | Not covered | Often an add-on |
| Setup speed | 2 to 3 weeks with testing | A few minutes | Days to weeks |
| Cost | From $850, fixed price | Free or low cost | Often a yearly contract |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites, platforms, and apps for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Teams Trust Us With Advanced Bot Protection
Bot defenses fail when they block customers or get bypassed in a week. These habits keep our bot protection services work measurable and fair to real users.
Customers before bot counts
We watch your login success and checkout conversion as closely as blocked requests. A rule that stops bots but costs you sales gets loosened, not defended.
Log mode before blocking
Every new rule runs in log-only mode on your real traffic first. You see who it would stop before anyone is stopped.
Crawlers verified, not guessed
We confirm Googlebot and Bingbot with a DNS lookup instead of trusting the user agent. Fake crawlers get blocked, and real ones keep indexing your pages.
Rules change as bots change
Bot operators adjust within days of a new rule. Your runbook tells you which signals to watch and how to tighten your defenses without starting over.
Honest about built-in tools
If your platform's built-in bot setting handles your traffic, we'll say so. You pay for custom rules only where the defaults fall short.
Your accounts, your rules
Every rule lives in your own firewall, CDN, or app account, written up in plain English. If we part ways, nothing stops working.

Good fit
Stores hit by card testing
Your payment processor flagged a run of small declined charges, and you need checkout limits that stop bots without blocking real orders.
Membership and SaaS logins
Your login page takes credential stuffing attacks, and you want advanced bot protection for websites that doesn't lock real users out.
Sites with free trials or coupons
Your free trial, coupon, or referral offer attracts fake signups, and the cost shows up in email sending fees and messy analytics.
Catalogs copied by scrapers
Your prices and product pages get copied every hour, and the scraping traffic slows the site and raises your hosting bill.
Teams comparing bot tools
You're weighing bot protection software against a managed service and want the problem measured before you sign a yearly contract.
Not a fit
Fraud by real people
Your problem is real buyers placing fraudulent orders or filing false chargebacks, not automation. Our Ecommerce Fraud Prevention Services cover order screening and dispute rules.
Floods, not abuse
Your site goes down under sheer traffic volume rather than targeted login or checkout abuse. Our DDoS Protection Services put an edge in front and lock your origin.
Only contact form spam
Your only issue is junk entries on a contact or quote form. Our Form Spam Protection service fixes that from $300.
A small brochure site
Your site has no logins, signups, or checkout, and traffic is modest. Cloudflare's free Bot Fight Mode or your host's bot setting is enough.

Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Bot protection services from DeveloperLook start at $850 for one site, covering up to 4 high-risk endpoints with a week of log-only testing. The $2,100 plan adds checkout, carding, scraping, and fake signup defenses for up to 3 sites or APIs. The $4,300 plan covers mobile apps and public APIs. Any bot vendor or CDN fees are separate.
Most single-site setups take 2 to 3 weeks. The log review and threat mapping take a few days, then rules run in log-only mode for about 7 days before anything blocks. Projects with mobile apps and public APIs take 4 to 6 weeks, because app releases have their own review cycle.
Bot protection is spotting automated traffic that abuses your site and stopping it while your real visitors and good bots get through. It covers threats such as credential stuffing, card testing, fake account creation, and scraping. Good defenses combine several signals, like request rates, browser checks, and IP reputation, rather than relying on one CAPTCHA.
Start by measuring which of your pages bots hit, because a login attack needs different defenses than a scraper. Then add rate limits per account and IP on your high-risk endpoints, challenges for suspicious sessions, and signup and payment checks. Test new rules in log-only mode first. Keep verified search crawlers allowed, and review your results weekly while attackers adjust.
The best option fits where your traffic already flows and what bots are actually doing to you. If your site runs on Cloudflare, start with its bot settings, and on AWS, with AWS WAF Bot Control. A small site may need only Turnstile on its forms. Paying for advanced features you don't need is a common mistake.
For an ecommerce website, the best bot protection solution covers 3 places: login, checkout, and catalog pages. Your login needs credential stuffing limits, your checkout needs payment attempt limits against card testing, and your catalog needs scraping controls. Whatever tool you pick, make sure it allows payment webhooks and verified crawlers, or it costs you orders and rankings.
You stop credential stuffing with limits per account and per IP, plus challenges when a session looks automated. Check new and changed passwords against leaked lists, such as Have I Been Pwned's Pwned Passwords, and offer two-factor sign-in or passkeys. Return the same error for a wrong email and a wrong password, so bots can't confirm which accounts exist.
Not when it's set up properly. We verify Googlebot and Bingbot with a reverse and forward DNS lookup, the method Google documents, and keep them on an allow list. AI crawlers are your call: some respect robots.txt, and the rest can get rate limits or blocks. You decide which ones may read your pages.
Yes, but browser challenges don't work inside a mobile app or an API call. Your app uses device checks instead: Apple's App Attest and Google's Play Integrity API help prove a request came from your real app. Your API gets limits per token, account, and device. That work sits on the App and API Bot Program plan.
You get 30 days of rule tuning, because bot operators change tactics once they hit new defenses. We watch blocked traffic, login success, and checkout conversion, and adjust any rule that catches real customers. You also keep a runbook with a stricter mode for live attacks, so your team can respond without waiting for us.
